Match Thread Stoke City v Everton 1/2/17 KO 8pm GMT

[DanEFC92]

We were crap. Least we're level.

Baxter on at HT please, Koeman.

 

[Harry Gray]

A vivid vivid lilac

 

[BiggyRat]

Morning chaps. No time to sort through the thread (atm) sorry but how did we concede that early goal? Set play, corner, still whistling Z cars in their minds???

 

[Osamabindiesel]

So that shot/cross from Coleman was going in regardless of the deflection? It looked so. Probably why Seamy got the goal

 

[Ramiro Funes Mori]

Nice goal by Messi

 

[bluestevon]

3-1 Stoke.

3-1 Everton mate, Barkley will run this game second half once lookman comes on for kev

 

[dublinbluenose]

Impressed with Schneiderlin he looks very composed - himself, Davies and Ross have looked promising.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Nice goal by Messi

You almost cost us a goal you loon (otherwise good job)

 

[Harry Gray]

More than a woman to me

 

[maccavennie]

I'd be surprised if holgate comes out

tough learning curve for him isn't it mate but he'll be all the better for playing these lumps of lard up top.

If Mirallas wakes up he could actually have a field day because he's picked it up about 7 times now in great positions.

Does though doesn't it. At least in Deulofeu's case he gave us something different from the other players we have right now.

You can't honestly be arguing that we aren't thinly covered in this squad.

oh ffs

What difference would Del have made tonight?

He's over in Milan, having played two games and done some stepovers and nothing else.

FORGET about him ffs

The players who are on the pitch have been off it so far today. Not enough authority but we were the better side as the half wore on. Stupid mistake from Barkley with a needless header almost cost us in the end.

Mori and Holgate have been iffy at best. Rom poor.

Need to wake up in the second half but that's got f all to do with transfers IN or OUT

No, it doesn't. Oviedo and Gibson wouldn't have got a look in tonight if they were still here.

I like Del, but he's gone and since Coleman is now playing as a winger in our new system, his absence is not really missed, particularly as Coleman has been pivotal to our last 2 goals. We also have Lookman who has looked a goal threat every time he's played so far.

We have rightly got rid of players who offer nothing to us and brought in 2 players that already look like they have improved the squad quality wise. Great base to build on in the Summer, without having to waste time getting rid of 3 players who aren't part of the bosses plans.

 

[Ring master]

surely we cant be as bad in the 2nd half,the goal is the get out of jail card we needed

 

[Blue_Arsed_Fly]

Make Everton Great Again!

 

[BlueToff]

My thoughts too. Kev to some has looked poor, but tbf he is REALLY putting himself out there. Been involved in everything unlike Barkley today

Barkley has just been sloppy so far, but showed some clever bits as well. Davies, similarly, has looked sharp, but shown his youth at times with some silly decisions when in possession. Impressed with Snides once he grew into the game
